A Vision of Horns and Craftsmen
18 [a] And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, (A)four horns! 19 And I said to (B)the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, (C)“These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” 20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?” He said, (D)“These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one raised his head. And these have come (E)to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations (F)who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
